MOBILE, Ala.--Even without Kerinn Meisenbach playing singles, No. 10 Embry-Riddle cruised to an 8-1 victory over Southwestern (Kan.) on Monday at the NAIA National Championships at Mobile Tennis Center. "We started out a little nervous, and I expected that, it's the first time at nationals for four of them," said head coach Dave Paschal. "But we settled down and won pretty easily." The win lifted the Eagles into the second round of the tournament, where they will square off against No. 7 Berry (Ga.) at 10 a.m. EST. The Eagles took a 5-4 decision from the Vikings on March 14.
